'm' to unmute each muted control, then change the volumes. If you
really cannot alter the volume sliders, you possibly have the wrong
driver in the kernel.
On a few chips, there are more controls than will fit in the console
window, and you have to cursor right to access them - start by unmuting
everything, increase the volume of everything except master, play a .wav
file with aplay in another term, and use the master volume to increase
the volume until you can hear it. After that, experiment to find which
controls actually matter on your installation, and set your preferred
volume.
You may also need to add yourself to the audio group.
- when I installed ALSA, in alsa-tool package I installed nothing.....
is this wrong ?
I don't think I bother building that, so only wrong if there is
something there that you want.
- when I run alsaconf I look at an error:
modinfo: could not find module snd
Because you have now built it in. I believe alsaconf assumes
everything will be modules.
what can I do ?
*grin* Stop top-posting and trim your replies ?
Seriously, the LFS book's configuration I pointed you to yesterday
works for me when I build sound as modules, and when I build it into the
kernel it also works.
I did once have unsolved problems with alsaconf when it wanted to use
the (not connected) sound chip on the mobo, and I wanted to use an
add-in card, but for most people it works. If it doesn't work, limit
your testing to aplay and alsamixer until you have basic sound
functioning, then you can try other applications that might use oss
devices.
I've just taken a look at my main desktop box - no alsa files other
than the mixer state, but sound works. I guess this means alsaconf is
not normally required, at least if the sound driver is built in to the
kernel.
